I remember thinking that it was very odd when I first started with Evergreen, but I rapidly adjusted. I think all of my staff are comfortable with it, but it is something we have to explain to any new staff.

Long term, however, I agree that the click link to copy is probably very weird to new Evergreeners, and that a click to copy button or the more standard highlight/control-v would likely seem more natural to people. --- Sarah Childs Technical Services Department Head Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library 250 North Fifth Street Zionsville, IN 46077 317-873-3149 x13330 [email protected] On 2013-11-07 10:58, Kathy Lussier wrote: > Hi all, > > Looking through the e-mail thread and the original LP bug, I counted > that: > > 8 people indicated that they would like an acknowledgement that the > text was copied. > 7 indicated that they did not want the additional click. > 7 indicated they wanted something else (3 of those 7 were also counted > above because they showed a preference for one approach over > another.) > > I agree that it would be preferable to have a tooltip or a consistent > way to display an icon performs the action to copy to the clipboard. > But my follow-up question to those suggestions is if there is anyone > with the tuits to make it happen if we wanted to run with one of these > approaches. > > In the case of the original question, it would be fairly easy to > revert this part of the code to its previous state, and I would be > willing to make the code changes if there was a large consensus to do > so (I'm not sure we really have that consensus at the moment.)
